Spit On A Stranger - Nickel Creek
Album: This Side
Written by: Stephen Malkmus

G           Bm     Em          C D
However you feel, whatever it takes
G             Bm    Em         C    D
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
G             Bm    Em         C  D
Whatever you need, however so slight
G             Bm    Em            C  D
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right
Em                         Em7/D#                    Em7/D     Em/C#
I've been thinkin' long and hard about the things you said to m---e
C              G
Like a bitter stranger
Em                    Em7/D#                        Em7/D    Em/C#
Now I see the long and short, the middle, and what's in betwe---en


Chorus:
C                  G         A7      C
I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
C                 G        A7      C
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)


G            Bm     Em          C D
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
G             Bm    Em         C    D
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
G             Bm    Em         C  D
Whatever you need, however so slight
Em                     Em7/D#                     Em7/D      Em/C#
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch and we're a perfect ma---tch
C                 G
Like two bitter strangers
Em                    Em7/D#            Em7/D     Em/C#
Now I see the long and short, and I can make it last


REPEAT CHORUS (3 times)


C                 G   A7  C
See the sunshine eyes
C                         G    A7  C
Try the things you never tried
C                                G     A7    C
I'll be the one that leaves you high, high, high


Chords:
A7  =   x02020
Bm  =   x24432(bar chord) or xx4432
C   =   x32010
D   =   xx0232
G   =   320003
Em     =   022000
Em7/D# =   xx1000
Em7/D  =   x50000
Em/C#  =   x42000

In the Em walkdown you can just play Em to Em7 if you want to keep it
simple, but the chords aren't difficult to play, just takes some
practice getting used to them.

I think a brief A7 goes after the Em/C#. However, I'm listening to the mandolin part, so maybe the guitar part's different. Thanks for the tab - it's great.
